Would rhinoplasty by itself straighten my nose or would I need full on septoplasty with rib grafting? (Photo)

Rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty with septoplasty?If your nose was straight before the fracture and the only crookedness is due to the nasal bones then a rhinoplasty without septal work should be sufficient to straighten the nose. If however the septum is crooked, and this can only be determined on physical examination, then a Septoplasty would also be performed. A septoplasty does not necessarily involve rib Cartlidge. There are multiple variations of the procedure depending on what is called for. In some cases the septum is simply moved or Bent , in other cases a portion of it is removed, in other cases the portion that is removed is used as a graft or grafts etc. So there are multiple degrees and levels of procedures that could be done depending on what is called for by what is found on physical examination to be wrong with your nose

Usually a septoplasty is done at the same time as rhinoplasty to both improve the crooked nose and help with breathing. If your nose was straight before the fractures, then there is a good chance that it can be pretty straight again. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

No matter who does your surgery there is a high likelihood of the nose still being somewhat crooked but better than it is now.I don’t see the point of the rib graft. It seems unnecessarily complicated and won’t guarantee that your nose will be straight
